Answer:
a) T² = () r³
b) veloicity the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance
kinetic energy depends on the inverse of the distance
potential energy dependency is the inverse of distance
angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance
Explanation:
1) for this exercise we will use Newton's second law
F = ma
in this case the acceleration is centripetal
a = v² / r
the linear and angular variable are related
v = w r
we substitute
a = w² r
force is the universal force of attraction
F =
we substitute
w² =
angular velocity is related to frequency and period
w = 2π f = 2π / T
we substitute
the final equation is
T² = () r³
b) the speed of the orbit can be found
v = w r
v =
v =
in this case the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance
Kinetic energy
K = ½ M v²
K = ½ M GM / r
K = ½ GM² 1 / r
the kinetic energy depends on the inverse of the distance
Potential energy
U =
U = -G mM / r
dependency is the inverse of distance
Angular momentum
L = r x p
for a circular orbit
L = r p = r Mv
L =
L =
The angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance
